Chapter 1462 1462. The Golden Key (15)

Li Du shook hands with Bill and said in shock, "Is the Napoleon you're talking about the Napoleon I know?"

Bill laughed, "Yes, Napoleon Bonaparte, the Emperor of France, that's him I'm talking about."

Li Du didn't know what to say. It seems that he still doesn't know enough about the European and American auction industry.

In addition, he didn't know enough about this Bill, so he didn't know why the other party was looking for him.

Fortunately, Bill is a straightforward person, and he quickly showed his purpose: "Mr. Li, as far as I know, you have been very successful in the warehouse auction industry."

Li Du waved his hand, and Bill continued: "You don't need to be humble. As a practitioner in California, I am very aware of your strength. But what makes me feel strange is that you seem to have left this industry after you came to Los Angeles?"

"It's just that there is no warehouse I'm interested in." Li Du smiled.

Bill said: "I think maybe because you don't have that much time and energy to allocate, you are now joining the new success of the bidding real estate industry, which is obviously more profitable for you."

Li Du said frankly: "There are reasons for this, but in fact I just use these industries to do something now, not for making money."

Bill nodded and said, "I understand. I'm also a treasure hunter. Fortunately, I was promoted to a member of the quasi-millionaire club this year."

Li Du looked at him and said, "Then you are amazing."

The two are similar in age, that is, they are less than thirty years old. At this age, they are good enough to become treasure hunters in the quasi-millionaire club.

Bill wryly smiled and said, "No, I just survived. In fact, I have been in this industry for 20 years, and I have been in this industry for almost 14 years. When I graduated from high school and did not go to college, I just I started to be a treasure hunter, but I didn't become a member of the quasi-millionaire club until this year, which is far behind you."

Li Du said: "Age is your advantage, you will become a member of the Ten Million Club."

Bill shook his head: "I know my ability, Mr. Li, I think choice is more important than hard work. I mean, I want to join your company."

Before that, Li Du and Hans formed a company aimed at participating in storage auctions, but later he went out to take risks several times and made a lot of money.

In this way, the warehousing and auction industry is not very attractive to him, so he doesn't pay much attention to this company, but there are some employees in it, mainly managers.

Hearing Bill's words, he said in surprise, "You want to join my company? Do you want to do it for me?"

Bill said: "I have roughly inquired about your situation. Now you lack a powerful assistant in the warehouse auction industry. I think I can be competent for such a job."

"The warehouse auction industry in California is a treasure trove, which contains infinite value. I want to cooperate with you. I will look for valuable and interesting warehouses. You will lead the auction, and I will cooperate, and then we will share 30/70, okay? "

Li Du looked at him with a frown and said, "Is this necessary? I have an assistant who can help me find storage information. In addition, if you can find a valuable warehouse, why bother to cooperate with me again?"

Bill shrugged and said, "I know your assistant, Mr. Mond-Conlett, right? But he has too many things to take care of, and now he is obviously unable to focus on the storage auction. I can concentrate on this job."

"As for why I still need to cooperate with you when I can find valuable warehouse information, one is because I don't have the confidence to choose the most valuable one among these warehouses; the other is that I don't have enough power to protect myself, Los Angeles is really Mess!"

Li Du said: "Do you think I can help you in these areas?"

Bill nodded and said: "Obviously yes, I know your former partner Fu Boss, with all due respect, that guy is also a member of the million-dollar club. But after partnering with you, he has become a member of the million-dollar club, which can already reveal Lots of things."

Li Du thought for a while and said, "Let me think about it. If I think it's necessary, then I'll contact you."

Bill handed him a folder and said, "This is the most valuable auction information I have selected in the past two months. You can go and have a look, maybe this can help you make a decision."

Li Du nodded and said, "Okay, by the way, are you also a guest of this auction?"

Bill smiled and said, "Yes, I also proposed the auction company's decision to invite you as a guest. To be honest, Mr. Li, you are not well-known in Los Angeles. This is seriously inconsistent with your strength. You need an assistant Let me help you with this matter."

The auction then started, and as guests, Li Du and his party sat in the front row.

The person in charge of the organizer introduced them, and they will conduct on-site comments on these lots at the auction to help bidders get professional advice.

There were a total of eight guests, including four other than Li Du, Bill, Beard and Hermes.

There was nothing on the scene that could interest Li Du, so he was not very interested, and only commented when necessary.

Sometimes with the help of time flies, this job is easy for him.

He commented on the material and historical perspective of the lot, and he never made a mistake.

Beard and Hermes are also well-known people in the private auction industry. Their fame not only comes from deception, but also from their real vision.

After listening to Li Du's comments, they realized how powerful Li Du was, and quickly dispelled the idea of ​​provoking Li Du to make him look ugly.

At the back, a small golden key was brought up. The small key was beautifully made, with a bright yellow body that looked like gold. The handle of the key was inlaid with some sparkling small stones, like diamonds, rubies, sapphires, etc. .

The auctioneer said: "This mysterious key represents infinite mystery. We have been appraised by lock industry experts beforehand and believe that this key is a popular style from 20 to 30 years ago. It may be able to open an unknown treasure chest. There may be unknown wealth inside. Of course, these are all unknown, but what is known is that it is very beautiful, with 18K gold as the main body, inlaid with various gemstones, and experts will be invited to identify it..."

The ones who were invited to the stage were the bearded man and a jewelry expert that Li Du didn't know, because there was another link where bidders were allowed to randomly pick a guest for appraisal, and he might pick himself, so he released space-time flying insects to watch Look at this key.

It is true that the key is 18K gold, but those behind it are not real gems, but artificial synthetic plastic products inlaid for decoration, and the value is very low.

As time progressed, Li Du saw that this key was connected with a safe location, and the things in the safe made him interested.
